Well this was Semana Santa or Holy Week. It was a disaster... Well it was just chaos for missionary work. Because it is vacation week for everyone. Everyone leaves and has their doors closed. No one wants to let you in and everyone turns catholic. Like it's not a joke. So we found a really good guy this week. His name is Josue. Wow what a blessing to find him. He says he's been interested for sometime in talking with us but he has never done it. Now he had the chance!!! We got to see the Alfombras or carpets. They are the biggest ones in the country. They are 4 blocks or 250 something meters long. They were cool. They even had a Donald Trump one but his face was well distorted to show that they think he is ugly. Hahaha. But on Friday as well as seeing the Alfombras there was a ENORMOUS Catholic procession. That was 3 BLOCKS LONG!!! What they do is they stop and pray at spots and share a story of the crucifixion of the Savior. I'm not completely sure. But they carry a giant statue of Jesus bleeding and carrying the cross. It bugs me. He isn't carrying the cross He is alive now like don't you get it??? But Like everyone in town was there.... They yelled at us for passing through and almost threw rocks at us... Hahaha we did walk against the current. But the best part was is that we saw members and they asked what we were doing? We responded with the better question is what are you doing?? Ya they wonder why the church doesn't grow. Anyways we did get to watch General Conference. But in spanish... Last GC but in spanish. It was great but it just isn't the same listening to translaters when you know how the voice is of the apostles and everyone. You don't get the same effection. But wow! High Priest groupp doesn't exsist anymore! And Home and Visiting teaching is a new level! Wow President Nelson is just full of revelation. He truly is a Prophet of God. The Holy Spirit confirmed that Saturday night in my evening prayers. When I was really wondering if he was a Prophet with the changes and what not. I remembered what the Book of Mormon says in the introduction. "Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is his revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter'day Saints is the Lord's Kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the second coming of the Messiah." I know that the Book of Mormon is true. Maybe I had doubts about him being the new prophet but I just stuck with the truths that the Holy Ghost has manifested to me. If the Book is true it all is true! God will never let anyone lead us astray! Great conference and wow we will have 19 temples in Utah! And every country in Central America will have a temple when they build the temple in Nicaragua!!! The Church is true! I love this everlasting gospel! I love you guys!!! Have a great week!!
